Bug ID: 101463
Summary: insert HyperLink fails for selections longer than 255
chars
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: needsUXEval
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bjoern.michael...@canonical.com
Steps to reproduce:
1/ create new writer document
2/ type dt<F3> to create a long dead text
3/ select the whole paragraph
4/ use "insert Hyperlink" toolbar button
5/ type "example.com" in the URL field and close the dialog by pressing "OK"
Expected behaviour:
The paragraph becomes a link to example.com, the content of the paragraph stays
unchanged.
Actual behaviour:
The paragraph becomes a link to example.com, the content of the paragraph is
shortened to 255 chars.
IMHO the "Further Settings"->"Text" field in the dialog should be removed from
the dialog, and the "Ok"/"Apply" buttons should just use the selection instead
of replacing the content. If done so, the "Insert Hyperlink" button/menu entry
needs to be disable if there is no selection in the document.
Note this would kill the old-style modal-only workflow of:
- click "insert Hyperlink" without a selection
- fill the text in the dialog
- click "Ok" and have _new_ content added as link
I think the "select content in document, then use the dialog to linkify"
workflow is a superior replacement anyway. Still, would like UX input on this
